Waste follows the lives of three ragpickers in Dharavi who sort through the trash of the largest city on Earth.

Their carefree attitude contrasts sharply with the struggles and health hazards of their daily existence.” Parasher is a part of the Dharavi Project and the ACORN Foundation, to find out more about them click here.
